cool mate, did ya get a free GPS thrown in too?

I just got an elite delivered from TOZ and i nearly went another Burris, i have a fullfield 11 and it's an excellant scope IMHO and the ballistic plex is good too.

i got the fullfield II 4.5-14 on a rem 700 .243 and I love it, the scope has been great.
I also went for the spotting scope which is good at 100, but I'd prefer a larger magnification on a spotting scope for looking at holes that are further.

Im getting a Fullfeild 3-9x40 with the GPS, i hope the scope will handle the recoil of a 338. The gps is worth about $200 round here.

If the scope wont handle the 338 i will put it on a 6.5x55.

Not sure what il upgrade to for the 204,

i also have the 4-12X42 had it for about a year

Overall I like it a lot - sits on my HMR and took 30 rabbits a fox and a cat on the long weekend. and have used it at the range when my sako quad morphs into a .22lr
For me
+ Ballistic Plex easy hold overs with out the clutter of mildot and other intrusive reticles
+ Low light clarity - I shoot a lot around dusk/dawn and spotlight after dark
+ ability to walk around for quicj shots on 4.5X power then zoom in to 14 for longer shots of bipod and rests. Alos enough power to sight the rifle in - even with an HMR at 50 and 100m
- Like most scopes Ballistic plex only goes down to 45 yards - this is a bit long for my offhand shooting competition - need to wind power down 7X to get focus at 25m. But this is standard for most scopes
- AO adjustment quite tight - might try some silican spray and hope it loosens up over time
- Turret clicks are mushy - makes it hard to adjust then return to original setting. Again not an issue for most people - especially with the ballistic plex

I like it!!
